It is discovered that it contains 7.759 % by mass of of the element oxygen (molar mass 16.00 g/mol). The new element Torontium (To molar mass of 368 g/mol) composes 92.25% of the mass of the formula unit Ontarium. Unfortunately after you have carried this mineral in your pocket, as it glows in the dark and you wanted to show everyone. You are hoping to make a lot of money from this discovery, but you then discover that Torontium is highly radioactive and gives off alpha radiation. You have 100.00 grams of Ontarium. Calculate the MOLES of both Torontium and Oxygen and then calculate the empirical formula which is the simplest integer ratio between the two elements (and also the structure of the formula unit for this ionic
You find a new mineral while traveling for Thanksgiving in northern Ontario, Canada. You decide to name the mineral Ontarium. You bring it back to the isotopic analysis lab at the research university where you are earning your bachelor's degree. It is discovered that it contains 7.759 % by mass of of the element oxygen (molar mass 16.00 g/mol). The new element Torontium (To molar mass of 368 g/mol) composes 92.25% of the mass of the formula unit Ontarium. Unfortunately after you have carried this mineral in your pocket, as it glows in the dark and you wanted to show everyone. You are hoping to make a lot of money from this discovery, but you then discover that Torontium is highly radioactive and gives off alpha radiation. You have 100.00 grams of Ontarium. Calculate the MOLES of both Torontium and Oxygen and then calculate the empirical formula which is the simplest integer ratio between the two elements (and also the structure of the formula unit for this ionic compound).
